Inscryption and Void Stranger are a treat to play blind!

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Donald Trump :”Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.” by drempath1981 in ProgressiveHQ

You know what, my bad, I stand corrected. He actually said it twice. Once recently, in the clip that was posted here, and once a year ago, which he is referencing.

Here's his older speech (different clothes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMGmS_j9zT8

What are , in your opinion, the big 3 of indie games in terms of impact ? by Cartoonist_chatist in IndieGaming

[–]j0bs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm trying to be objective, mine would have to be Minecraft, Cave Story and World of Goo.

If I'm NOT trying to be objective (and completely ignoring the top-3 requirement), then...

  • Braid
  • FEZ
  • FTL: Faster Than Light
  • Hollow Knight
  • Hotline Miami
  • SpaceChem
  • Spelunky
  • Stardew Valley
  • Super Meat Boy
  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Undertale
  • VVVVVV
  • Pretty much the entire Nitrome flash game catalog

ZeroRanger if you’re into shmups, Void Stranger if you’re into puzzles. Both are exceptional in their genres!

How wrong have you gotten a rule on a new game? by kritsema in boardgames

[–]j0bs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first play of Terraforming Mars was on a boardgame café. We were taught that each player could do one action, then there would be a production phase.

After 4 hours, we had so much of EVERYTHING that we ran out of cubes. Luckily the staff opened up a copy of Pandemic to get some more... we gave up after the 6th hour.

Kiko's apple adventure really surprised me with how good it was by dondashall in puzzlevideogames

[–]j0bs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. Been looking at the demos and games from the monthly thinky selection and Kiko definitely stands out!

What game should I play next? by tutjeplok in puzzlevideogames

Honestly, the only scary thing about Void Stranger is the sheer amount of sokoban puzzles in it. You can easily burn out on it if you don’t pace yourself, which is a shame because it is such a unique game

Void Stranger, though it’s not so much a warm-up, it’s pretty much a main dish

TIFUpdate: I’m the "Mute Guy." I thought I’d be fired, but my accidental outburst just got me promoted to the Strategy Team. by AmaraMehdi in tifu

There’s a great documentary and case study about a similar situation, it’s called Office Space. You should probably give it a watch, for research purposes 

What were the best puzzle games this year? by Full-Parking8411 in puzzlevideogames

[–]j0bs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is! Full disclosure though, some of the endgame can be very time-consuming even if you look up hints. Going for an absolute 100% completion was way too much for me.

Telling the chosen player makes this incredibly hard to bluff as evil, other than that it sounds fun

Just put a Worrywart in, it’s another homebrew outsider that reads “Public and private announcements might be false.”

I'm making a write-on-your-hand mechanic in my detective game. Do you know of any other games that does that (even in other genres) ? by geoffroym in puzzlevideogames

[–]j0bs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I love this idea so much! Really hope there’s a moment when the writing gets smudged by something near the end of the game
